About PEAK
PEAK is a paid media agency based in Manchester city centre. We plan, build and run paid social and performance campaigns for a client roster that spans UK fitness, DTC homeware and consumer goods, beauty, and US luxury fragrance.
We are a team of five and growing off the back of new business. The founders still do the work themselves rather than selling an account and handing it to a junior, and we expect the same of everyone we hire.
Our view of performance is straightforward. Results come from creative quality and account structure far more than from targeting. Most of what we do day to day follows from that.
This is a role for someone with a couple of years behind them who is ready to run accounts properly rather than execute someone else's plan.
Own day-to-day management of a portfolio of paid social accounts across Meta and TikTok
Build and maintain campaign structures that make performance legible and testing possible
Plan and run structured creative testing across hooks, formats, angles and offers, and act on what the results actually show
Brief creative, and give useful feedback on it rather than passing it through
Own budget pacing, bid strategy and in-platform optimisation against client targets
Produce weekly and monthly reporting that explains what happened and what you are doing about it
Work directly with clients on calls, in reviews and over email
Keep on top of platform changes and feed the useful ones back into the team
What we are looking for
Essential
2+ years managing paid social campaigns, in-house or agency
Hands-on experience in Meta Ads Manager with real budget responsibility A working understanding of measurement, including attribution windows, GA4, and the difference between platform-reported and actual The ability to look at a set of results and form a view, rather than reporting the numbers back
Genuine attention to detail. Naming conventions, ad copy, crops, UTMs, spelling. The small things compound
Comfortable talking to clients directly and explaining your reasoning
Google Ads experience
Klaviyo, Shopify or other ecommerce platform experience
Any hands-on creative skill such as editing, copywriting or design
Experience with DTC ecommerce or subscription businesses
What matters more than the CV
We are looking for someone who cares about the work and takes some pride in it. Curiosity about why one ad worked and the ones around it did not. A willingness to say when something is not working, including when it is your own idea.
£30,000 to £36,000, depending on experience
Hybrid working An office in Manchester city centre, with beer on tap
Regular team socials A varied client roster
Real ownership of accounts and direct client contact from the start A small team where your work is visible and your input on how we do things is wanted
